Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Los Olivos who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
